Weird that the same test didn't perform that badly.

I presume that you have the email address of our CC Team? Sending them a mail directly should still reach their mailbox. If you get a bounce back, I'll follow up with them in the morning.

Bounces back, as I stated earlier.

Is your website name correct? new24.co.za?

I could barely log onto this site, and that was a mistake, does not mean I didn't have an issue though.

Torrents were slower than a dead snail half an hour ago ...... now, they are cruising like a Ferrari

Intermittent ups and downs ....... like an emotional roller coaster ......... or to quote PurSpyk!! .... bounces back.

Ok, I am having a spelling crisis at the moment due to frustration.

I am thinking of going back to AH, and the premium uncapped looks good to me. I do not download a lot, but I do stream quite a bit. And I enjoy the odd game now and again. Would this bundle be right for me. I am looking at the 8mb premium uncapped bundle. Is the price R697 for the line as well as data?

Thanks

Facebook, Twitter and gmail SO SLOW. Unable to connect to my VPS server. Really frustrating.

Hummercellc said:
Yip same thing here, slow.
Latency also seems higher than normal.
so is the network starting to fall apart?
We will be spun some story tomorrow I guess.

Bryn said:
Dunno. This is the MTR that Critical Care just asked for:

I'm currently flying on the Vox test account, whereas my own AH account was struggling to load sites before I switched. Streaming has also improved noticeably after the switch. Even browsing the streaming catalogue is snappier.

Thanks for passing on that info to our Critical Care Team. How are things looking this morning?

Hi!

You are indeed correct, the 8Mbps Premium Bundle is R697 per month.

Honestly, I prefer our Capped solutions at the moment, since all Capped Users get zero-rated bandwidth between 23h30 and 07h30 each day. You don't then need to worry about shaping, and you are still able to download as much as you want, provided you schedule the downloads.

Why do Afrihost accounts have so many extra hops on international traffic? A trace to sipgate.de on IS and Mweb show 8 to 10 hops, Afrihost is almost 30 hops?

I think that the additional hops are visible on a traceroute on an Afrihost account, the latency to Europe should be very similar.

I would need to see an actual traceroute though.

Are Afrihost being affected by the Amsterdam - Durban Link?

Oke, not too worried about downloads. Download the odd thing here and there. I am more worried about having a cap when streaming,. It can disappear quickly. Would you recommend not going for the premium uncapped then?

Not that I'm aware of... Do you know which of the links is down? Are you seeing any degradation in service?

Each product has it's place.

I just tend to lean towards preferring Capped products. You can always start on the Capped product - for example the 150GB Capped account with 8Mbps DSL line for R638 per month - and then if there isn't enough Cap, you can upgrade to Uncapped.

I am currently on a 150GB package but running out of cap, and getting more cap than that seems to get a bit pricey.

Afrihost Plus maybe? Double data.

get a 150GB cap and attach the Afrihost + option to your account for 99 bucks, you get double data, Simfy access and lots more!

Hmmm, then the Premium Uncapped Bundle sounds like it may be the better option.
